Seriously, internet freedom and all is important. But please stay serious. Are you generally allowed to be openly gay in the US? Are you generally allowed to protest for your beliefs? Are you generally allowed to air your grievings with your government?

Then you are miles away from being in the same league as the nations you mentioned. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Internet freedom is an important societal interest _once you've taken care of more basic freedoms_.

I think part of the reason for the letter though is Chris Dodd's statement that the US should figure out how to filter foreign content, and specifically pointing to China as an example. If the MPAA wants to say we should be more like China, I think it is fair to state strongly that we shouldn't.
